1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 What is the Complete Street Programme

The term “Complete Streets” was coined by Smart Growth America in 2003. It refers to streets that enable safe and convenient access for a range of different types of users and their mode of transportation. This includes infrastructure for pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, and transit riders of all ages and abilities. It does not mean to represent that all streets must be complete for everyone, but it aims to prioritize the needs of people over vehicles.

Rajkot, like many Indian cities has always had a variety of users on its streets who share the street equally. However, with increasing motorization, there is a risk of bigger and faster vehicles overpowering vulnerable road users such as

DESIGN APPROACH 3:

pedestrians, cyclists and bikes. Pedestrians, especially the senior and child groups are most affected by this lack of safety on our streets. As it stands in 20231, Rajkot has the highest road fatalities per lakh population among all Gujarat cities. It is timely to look at alternative methods of transport growth that are inclusive and ensures safety and comfort for all its users.

The Complete Streets programme adopted by Rajkot Municipal Corporation (RMC) aims to create an integrated network of streets that prioritize all street users in a context-appropriate manner and complementary to surrounding land uses.

Multiple ways of creating Complete Streets exist - some that try to balance vehicle and pedestrian movement (Image on left shows 2-lane traffic movement in both directions and left over space is designated for a mix of walking and parking), whereas some that prioritizes pedestrian movement over vehicle movement (Image on right shows a wider footpath and building frontage zone and 2-lane undivided carriageway).

1.2 Current Mobility Scenario in Rajkot

Rajkot is a small city with a mix of land uses with pockets of high population density. Rajkot’s principal industrial sectors are in the west, east and south, retail hubs in the centre, and institutional areas in the west. As one of the primary employment centres of the region, Rajkot experiences significant traffic flow from neighboring villages to its industrial sectors, retail hubs, and institutional areas.

The city’s street network, consisting of approximately 2000 km of highways, arterials, sub-arterials, collectors, and local streets, faces congestion due to inadequate traffic management and increasing numbers of registered vehicles, predominantly twowheelers. The city currently has about 180 cars and over 600 2-wheelers per 1000 people.

The Rajkot Municipal Transport Services (RMTS) runs buses along 49 routes with 502

bus stops. The city also has a BRT route 10.7 km long and is panning to add additional routes creating a 63.5km BRT network.

Despite considerably high private vehicle ownership, it is worth noting that 48% of trips in Rajkot are made by walking or cycling.

However footpaths are either not present in the city, or are encroached by vendors or parking.

RMC thus commits to undertake projects that will prepare the city for the future and create a balance between street use and street design through the support of the Complete Street Guidelines.

1.3 Key steps and principles for adoption of the Complete Street Program in Rajkot

A. UNDERSTANDING STREET TYPOLOGIES

Street typologies are categorized based on two parameters; (1) capacity-based; and (2) demandbased.

(1) Capacity based parameters include consideration of the right-of-way (RoW) width, length, and desired speed of the street to function within the network. The main street typologies as per capacity-based parameters are similar to ones proposed by IRC:SP:118-2018:

• Arterial (includes urban expressways)

• Sub-arterial

• Collector

• Local streets

(2) Demand based parameters include consideration of the surrounding land uses, commuter or freight demand, and/or parking demand. These are subtypologies within the main street typologies and include a combination of the following land use, density and mode preference considertations:

• Neighbourhood/ retail/ mixed use/ institutional/ parkway

• High density/ high rise/ mid rise/ low density

• Transit priority/ freight corridor/ NMT pathways

Most streets in greenfield plans such as Town Planning Schemes (TPS) will only need to be assigned typologies based on capacity-based parameters. Demand-based parameters only govern the design of the street edges as the area develops over time.

The IRC:SP:118-2018 manual is the primary national-level code that provides guidance on urban street design and development.

The code recommends the following classification of urban roads and streets:

1. Urban Expressways

2. Arterial Road

3. Sub Arterial Road

4. Collector Street

5. Local Street

6. Non-Motorized Transport (NMT) Streets and Greenways.

The Rajkot Complete Street Design Program builds on thes road and street classifications, contextualizing it to the city’s needs.

B. ALLOCATING EQUITABLE ROAD SPACE

The National Urban Transport Policy (NUTP) 2006 delineates core objectives to achieve its vision to bring “people” at the centre-stage of planning and transform cities into “engines of economic growth.” One of these core objectives is “Equitable allocation of road space.”

The NUTP 2006 states intent to “encourage measures that allocate road space on a more equitable basis, with people as its focus. This can be achieved by reserving lanes and corridors exclusively for public transport and non-motorized modes of travel. ”

Figure 2. Source: IRC 103:2022: Guideline for Pedestrian Facilities

Allocating equitable road space requires an understanding of potential demand across the different modes. This is usually considered through an understanding of adjoining land uses. The allocation of space for pedestrian movement, for example is governed by the IRC 103:2022: Guideline for Pedestrian Facilities as shown in the table below.

Similarly, on streets with high transit demand, where public transport frequencies of more than 7 schedules per hour are desired and where traffic congestion leads to potential deterioriation of reliability or more than 20% schedule delays, bus lanes are advisable. Bus lanes should be segregated from common lanes through continuous lane markings and preferable physical segregation or CCTVs to encourage adherence.

C. DESIGN COHERENCE

Global best practices in street design advise design coherence to be created through two types of elements; (1) Elements of Continuity; and (2) Elements of Differentiability. Together these elements create a uniform design language that influences feelings of reliability and coherence among users, while also allowing for flexibility to address changing needs.

(1) Elements of Continuity are those elements of a streetscape that must continue through its length, and are largely consistent across all streets of the same typology. Some of these overarching elements are shown here including their applications across various typologies, as presented in the Healthy Street Design Workbook - ITDP.

(2) Elements of Differentiability are those elements that address the contextual needs at specific locations along the streetscape and create the necessary variations along a streetscape. For example, some parts of the streetscape may require placement of benches and shade, whereas other part of the streetscape may require vending spaces.

Elements of differentiability must be accommodated through a detailed design excercise requiring creation of General Arrangement Drawings - street plans showing lane definition and curb lines along with placement of parking, pick-up and drop off areas, tree pits, landscape verges, utility boxes or manholes, bus stops, street lights, signal poles, signage posts, crossings, refuge islands, etc.

This Complete Streets Guide only provides guidance for ‘Elements of Continuity.’ RMC will engage urban designers from time to develop street plans that also accommodate the necessary elements of differentiability.

D. INTEGRATED UTILITIES

For complete streets to function to their full potential, it is important to plan utilities in an integrated manner, as far as possible making space for them underground.

The most critical utilities to be planned under streets are:

1. Water Supply and Gas Line

a) These are places closest to the building edge or coumpound walls to ease direct connections to adjoining buildings.

b) Coordination required with Water Supply Board and Gas Distribution Company respectively

2. Power and Telecommunication

a) These can be located anywhere under the street edge. Flexible HDPE pipes are recommended that can be navigated around obstacles and chambers.

b) Well-marked manholes are recommended every 120 meters.

c) Coordination required with Power Distribution Company and Telecommunication Company.

3. Sewage Management

a) Sewage pipes should be placed away from water supply pipes and at the lowest level to prevent leakage into water supply or storm water lines.

b) Manholes for smaller sewers (max dia- 30cm) can be spaced at 30m.

c) Coordination required with Sewerage Board.

4. Storm Water Management:

a) Storm water is one of the most essential elements of any street. Storm water management infrastructure is usually located abutting the carriageway for efficient draining of water and to ensure limited cross overs

b) There are multiple ways to manage storm water, depending on the volume of rain received and the space available on a street.

c) Wider streets, where sufficient width is available, may provide bio-swales, which are natural drains covered with grasses, that help slow percolation of water into the earth.

i. Compact urban roads will need to provide either box drains or piped drains.

d) Hybrid natural and piped drains can also be provided, as shown below, to ensure sustainability and resilience of streets.

e) Manholes should be provided every 80-100m for regular cleaning and maintenance of storm water drains.

DESIGN GUIDE

2. DESIGN GUIDELINES

Proposing Street Typologies in Rajkot

These Guidelines are developed with the principal understanding that all streets are not the same but they share certain characteristics that can make it easy for designs to be developed and replicated. To enable such replication across the city, it is important to understand the various types of streets that exist in Rajkot and how they can be categorized into a smaller set of street typologies. For each street typologies then, the intent is to develop typical guidelines that can ease the process of planning and design.

A comprehensive look at the logic of defining the street categories is shown below.

2.1 Arterial Roads

Arterial roads are major thoroughfares that connect to intercity highways and connect different city zones. They are designed for continuity and offering highest capacity and high-speed movement. They typically have multiple lanes and limited access points, and vehicular movement is prioritized over other modes. Within a city’s road network, they must be spaced between 1.5km to 3km apart.

Typical Width: 36m or more

Sub- typologies:

1. Transit Priority Corridor: should be planned along arterial roads where high frequency bus routes are required to be run. For example, 150 Feet ring road, Yagnik roads are ideal as Transit Priority Corridors. These corridors should be designed to prioritize public transportation systems, enhancing efficiency and accessibility while accommodating other vehicle types.

2. Freight + Vehicle Mobility Corridor: are designed to facilitate the efficient movement of all types of vehicles, including trucks and regular passenger traffic, supporting the city’s economic activities.

A. CARRIAGEWAY GUIDELINES

5. Lane Configuration

a) Number of Lanes: Consider the carrying capacity needs as suggested in IRC:106-1990 Table 2 to determine lane configuration.

b) Lane Width: Each lane should have a width of 33.5m to accommodate various vehicle types while maintaining safe driving conditions (Global Street Design Guide). The minimum widths for two and three lanes should be 6m and 8.5m, respectively, in each direction (Bhubaneswar Street Design Guidelines).

6. Access Management

3 - 3.5m

Figure 10. No of lanes and lane width; Source: Bhubaneswar Street Design Guidelines, BDA

Well-designed service lanes improve safety and throughput of the carriageway by segregating property access points and parking from the main carriageway.

a) Limited Access Points: Minimize direct access points to maintain traffic flow and safety. Limit access to intersections and designated entry/exit points.

b) Service Roads on roads with RoW > 45m:

In local streets that need to accommodate buses and trucks, the width of a two-way carriageway can vary between 6 and 6.5 m, depending on the volume of heavy vehicles (ITDP, 2011).

In a collector street, the optimum width for the carriageway is 5.5 m per direction (ITDP, 2011).

Wide service lanes also invite encroachment by shops, parked vehicles, or street vendors. challenges

Service lanes that are wide enough for two-way car movements encourage speeding and wrong-side driving, thus defeating one of their primary roles: to provide safe pedestrian space.

ii. Incorporate service roads where necessary to allow for local access without disrupting arterial flow. Service lanes adjacent to active commercial edges should be located on the outer edge of the footpath (Bhubaneswar Street Design Guidelines).

In arterial streets, the optimum widths for two and three implied lanes are 6 m and 8.5 m, respectively, in each direction. When considering carriageways wider than 6 m per direction, one should keep in mind that they easily lead to excessive speeds, wrong-way driving, and encroachments such as parking (ITDP, 2011).

design recommendations

iii. A minimum lane width of 3.0m is recommended for each lane. If heavy vehicles are anticipated, lanes should be increased to 3.5m (Bhubaneswar Street Design Guidelines).

Access to service lanes should be provided at midblocks; service lanes should never start or end at an intersection

Such provide any pedestrians. crossings allow streets safely

a) Speed Limits: Establish a standard speed limit of 60-80 km/h depending on the area (residential, commercial, etc.).

b) Intelligent Traffic Management: Implement intelligent and adaptive traffic signal systems to optimize traffic flow.

8. Grade-separated facilities:

a) Flyovers at intersections: can be considered only if signal cycle lengths required to manage traffic go beyond 2mins or 120 seconds.

b) Flyovers for link augmentation: are not preferred and should be considered only if traffic disruption is simulated up to a 2km distance around the link and is seen to be minimal.

9. Crossings:

a) Zebra crossings of minimum 2m or as wide as the adjacent footpath, whichever is greater; 4m in areas of high pedestrian crossing movements, in accordance with IRC 103 should be marked at regular intervals along arterial roads. These crossings should be marked with high-visibility paint and may be raised or textured to enhance pedestrian safety.

b) Refuge islands of minimum 1.2m width and 3m length should be provided when total crossing distance is more than 10m.

c) Traffic islands, where existing, must accommodate 1.5m of pedestrian walkways to ease crossing to the different street arms connecting at the intersection. Sculptures, if provided on traffic islands, should be placed to not disturb pedestrian movement safety.

at intersections

Crossings should be such that there is minimum deviation from the path of travel defined by the pedestrian zone in the footpath (pedestrian desire line).

B. EDGE GUIDELINES

1. Foot paths:

a) Need to be segregated, must have kerb height of 100 –150mm.

b) Must have a minimum width of 2.5 meters.

c) Surface should be levelled and continuous through use of footpath ramps for wheelchairs and ramps at plot entry and exits. Ramp slopes should not exceed 1:12.

d) Stamped concrete or rectangular paver blocks are preferred. Special areas may also have stone pavers.

2. Multi Utility Zones (MUZ):

a) Pedestrian lighting with poles of 8-12 m height should be placed at 10-15m distance and should throw light at footpaths.

b) Landscaping strip should be a continuous strip of minimum 1.2m width and 1.2m length and may include trees and/or heat and drought-resistant grasses. Trees should be of the shade-giving variety but maintain vertical clearance of 2.4m.

2.2 Cycle Tracks

c) Amenity zones of 1.2m x 3m must be planned along footpath edges and must include benches, trash bins, emergency call phones and cycle parking stands.

3. Dedicated Cycle tracks:

2.2 Cycle Tracks

a) Segregated cycle tracks should be provided between the carriageway and footpath and should be separated by a kerb or bollards.

Physically segregated cycle tracks ensure safety and reduce the possibility of encroachment by moving motor vehicles and parking. Cycle tracks should be continuous, with smooth turnings to allow uninterrupted movement and well-shaded & well-lit to provide comfort and safety. Cycle tracks should be planned in a network rather than in isolated parts to ensure seamless connectivity across the neighbourhoods.

Physically segregated cycle tracks

b) Cycle tracks should have a minimum width of 2.0 meters for one-way and 3.0 meters for two-way tracks. This ensures sufficient space for cyclists to maneuver safely.

Physically segregated cycle tracks are recommended for streets with predominantly speeds exceeding 30 km/h to enhance cyclist safety.

Physically segregated cycle tracks

c) Cycle track surface should be coloured asphalt or stained concrete.

Cycle tracks at footpath level are recommended to prevent encroachment by moving vehicles and parking. At footpath level

Physically segregated cycle tracks are recommended for streets with predominantly speeds exceeding 30 km/h to enhance cyclist safety.

d) At intersections, road markings should be provided to guide cyclists moving in all directions.

4. On-street Parking:

Painted cycle lanes

a) On street parking should only be provided in service roads and never on the main arterial carriageway.

Figure 16. Arrangement of footpath, landscape strip and amenities in a MUZ. Source: Healthy Streets Design Workbook, ITDP

Cycle tracks at footpath level are recommended to prevent encroachment by moving vehicles and parking.

These can be provided while testing new designs on existing streets. Painted cycle lanes, however, are prone to encroachment by moving vehicles, vending, parking. Hence it is recommended that the parking space and vending is well-defined.

Painted cycle lanes

b) On-street parking spaces should have standard dimensions, with parallel parking spaces measuring 2.4 meters in width and 5.0 meters in length.

c) On street parking should not be provided at street corners; rather kerb extensions should be provided to clearly demarcate defined space for parking.

d) Time-limited parking should be implemented to encourage turnover in high-demand areas, typically set for 1-2 hours. Clear signage must be installed to mark parking spaces, indicating time limits, parking rules, and enforcement information.

In streets with parking along cycle track, a buffer of minimum 0.5m should be provided to protect the cyclists from dooring. In other cases, only a kerb (0.15m wide )may be used as a buffer to save space.

Points to note

Cycle tracks at road level have lower construction and maintenance costs, but they may not be universally accessible to wheelchair users when

Cycle tracks should be clearly demarcated using paint & signage, especially at intersections and property entrances to deter motor vehicle encroachment.To prevent pedestrians from using cycle tracks, ensure there is a clear and unobstructed walking space.

15) Monitoring and Evaluation Checklist

C. UTILITY GUIDELINES

1. Storm water Drainage:

To ensure that project implementation is directed towards desired outcomes; and successes, failures and benefits are monitored and evaluated, a checklist is prepared to evaluate applications for street design essentially for new roads or for cases where the entire street is revamped. This checklist is not intended to alter or infringe the design standards, but is consolidated minimum standards that should be followed for developing and preserving safe operations of road facility. Following is a checklist categorized in three layers: A) Underground; B) Footpath; C) Cycle Tracks; D) Intersections; and E)

Above-ground Utilities

a) Storm water drains must be provided on both sides of the road, under the amenity or parking strip.

b) FRP grates must be fixed at drain openings to prevent solid waste from flowing into drains.

A. Underground Layer

c) The bottom level of the drain must be as per the gradient of the underground drainage system and must not be fixed as per the road surface level.

The following section outlines the utility design requirements for the installation of underground services. To initiate a complete street design for a greenfield or retrofit development, underground layer should be implemented as a first layer complying with the minimum requirements outlined in the section below:

d) The minimum spacing of manholes varies from 30 m for smaller sewer dia to 300 m for sewers above 2000 mm dia. Refer to National Capital Regional Board Masterplan Toolkits.

2. Water Supply and Sewage Pipes:

Element Responsibility Features YES NO NA

Sewer/ Drainage Lines

Water Supply Lines

a) Sewage lines are to be laid at a substantial depth below grade and ideally located away from water and rainwater drainage networks to avoid accidental contamination. (TenderSure Guidelines, Jana USP)

Electricity Cables

Telecommunication Cables

Recommended depth: 2.0-6.0m for a Trunk Sewer Line

Recommended depth: 0.6-1.0 m for a service line 1.0-1.5m for a trunk line

b) Sewer and drain lines are to be laid at an appropriate incline that encourages gravitational flow from local to trunk lines within the networked hierarchy. (TenderSure Guidelines, Jana USP)

Gas Pipelines

Recommended depth: 0.6-1.0m for low tension cable 1.5-2.0m for high tension cable

Recommended depth: 0.6-1.0m directly laid

Recommended depth: 2.0-3.0m

The placement of the utilities should comply with the below schematic representation, following the depth as per the above table:

c) Water lines are maintained under pressure and are to be laid away from the road traffic areas so as to avoid damage to the surface due to any leakages. (TenderSure Guidelines, Jana USP)

d) The Indian Roads Congress (IRC: 98-1988) recommends a depth between 2.0 m to 6.0 m for a ‘trunk sewer line’ and a depth of 1.0 m to 1.5 m for a ‘trunk water line’ and 0.6 m to 1.0 m for ‘service water line’.

3. Gas, Electricity and Fiber Conduit:

15) Monitoring and Evaluation Checklist

a) Individual conduits to be provided for gas, electricity and fiber lines below the footpath, closest to the plot boundaries. (TenderSure Guidelines, Jana USP)

b) Pipes carrying combustible materials such as gas should be located far away from electricity cables and sources of heat. The Indian Roads Congress (IRC) recommends laying of such pipe lines at a depth of 2.0-3.0 m. (TenderSure Guidelines, Jana USP)

c) Gas lines should not be laid parallel to High Tension (HT) lines. (TenderSure Guidelines, Jana USP)

D. GUIDELINES FOR TRANSIT PRIORITY

1. Dedicated Bus Lanes: Implement dedicated bus lanes with a width of 3.5m, separated from general traffic lanes to ensure uninterrupted public transport (ITDP India Street Design Manual).

2. Transit Signal Priority: Where bus lanes cannot be provided, incorporate ITMS systems that give transit vehicles priority at traffic signals to minimize delays.

3. Bus Stops Bus stops must be located atleast 25 m away from any major intersection, preferably before the junction. Bus stops may be located after the junction if they are likely to cause congestion for left turning traffic.

2.1.4 Bus Stops

4. Bus Shelters: Provide shelters at all bus stops to enhance rider comfort (Global Street Design Guide) without encroaching on the clear footpath space required.

Bus stops provide safe and comfortable waiting spaces. They should be located such that they are easy to identify and do not obstruct the walking zone. Bus stops should be placed such that buses can pullover in their original path and do not need to get into a niche (bus bay), thus ensuring smooth movement of traffic. A typical bus stop shelter should be 9mx2.5m in size. The length of the bus stop should be determined based on the number of buses and expected volume of buses using the stop. For seamless multi-modal integration, relocate the existing bus stops wherever necessary to the nearest public transport interchange options. Ensure the placement of new bus shelters in closer proximity to other modes of public transport.

5. Bus Bays: Where dedicated bus lanes cannot be provided, design bus bays that are at least 30m long and located at the curb to avoid obstructing traffic.

6. Information Signage: Install signs 50 m on either side of the bus stops to show direction to bus stops; and bus network maps and area maps at bus stops.

7. Pedestrian Crossing: Pedestrian crossings must be provided within 50m of a bus stop, including refuge islands, if necessary, for mid block crossings.

8. Ensure continuous footpaths and cycle tracks by diverting them behind the stop

Figure 19. Dedicated Bus Lane in Bangalore; Source: Wikimedia Commons

Bus stops should be easy to locate, and should display information maps, up-to-date route number, direction of travel, major stops and helpline perpendicular to pedestrian movement on footpaths>4.5m wide and parallel to pedestrian movement on footpaths <4.5m wide

Bus stops should be at the same level as footpaths, and railings should not be provided along the kerb edge, as it obstructs the lighting path. In cases where the bus stand’s elevation is not on the same level from the walkway or pathway, it is recommended to have two separate ramps for boarding and alighting. There

E. ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES: VEHICLE PRIORITY CORRIDOR

Vehicle Priority Corridors are designed to facilitate the efﬁcient movement of all types of vehicles, including trucks and regular passenger trafﬁc, supporting the city’s economic activities.

1. Heavy Vehicle Accommodation: To minimize conflicts with passenger vehicles, include wider lanes (minimum 3.5m) and a separate lane for freight vehicles (Global Street Design Guide).

2. Designated Turn Lanes: Provide dedicated turn lanes at intersections to allow for smoother traffic flow.

3. Service Lanes: Plan service lanes along the corridor where loading and unloading or stopping is required, ensuring these zones are clearly marked and do not obstruct traffic flow.

4. Zebra Crossings: Construct high-visibility zebra crossings at all intersections and all crossing locations.

Figure 21. Ai generated rendering of a Heavy Vehicle Priority Corridor; Dall-E

2.2 Sub-arterial Road

Sub-arterial roads serve as intermediate routes between arterial and collector streets. They carry moderate volumes of trafﬁc and often connect neighborhoods or important destinations with arterial roads. Sub-arterial roads must be spaced 1km to 4km apart within the street network.

Typical Width: 24 to 45 meters

C. UTILITY GUIDELINES

1. Storm water Drainage

a) Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS): Implement SuDS, such as permeable pavements, vegetated swales, and retention ponds, to manage surface runoff and enhance groundwater recharge. These systems also reduce the strain on conventional drainage infrastructure.

b) Adequate Sizing of Drains: Ensure that drains along collector streets are designed to accommodate higher flow volumes due to the convergence of smaller streets into the collector. This includes ensuring that pipes, manholes, and catch basins are appropriately sized (for example, ensuring manholes are spaced between 30-60 meters depending on pipe diameter).

c) Street-Level Drainage Integration: Design streets with proper grading to ensure runoff naturally flows into stormwater drains. Catch basins should be strategically placed at low points, intersections, and areas with high pedestrian traffic.

d) Water Retention and Treatment: For large collector streets, integrate stormwater retention and treatment areas to filter and slow the flow of runoff, improving water quality before it enters the main drainage system.

2. Water Supply and Sewage

a) Adequate Pipe Sizing: Ensure that water supply and sewage pipes are sufficiently sized to handle the increased demand from surrounding areas converging into the collector streets. Typically, 400-600 mm diameter pipes are used for collector streets, with spacing between manholes generally around 30-60 meters depending on local guidelines and sewer capacity.

b) Water Supply Connections: Provide a robust water supply system that can cater to residential and commercial needs along collector streets. Ensure that water supply pipes are strategically routed and easily accessible for maintenance. Consider future demands and make provisions for upgrades.

c) Sewage Network Integration: Connect the collector streets to the main sewage treatment plants, ensuring all buildings have proper connections for wastewater disposal. Use gravity flow design principles to minimize pumping stations, where possible.

d) Public Sanitation Facilities: Integrate public restrooms and sanitation facilities at regular intervals along collector streets, ensuring proper sewage connections and maintaining hygiene for residents and pedestrians.

2.4 Local Streets

Slow/ Local streets are the most minor and most common street type in urban areas. They primarily serve residential neighborhoods and have low trafﬁc volumes and speeds

Typical Width: Less than 12 m

Types of Local Streets:

1. Neighborhood Residential : Neighborhood Residential streets primarily serve residential areas, providing direct access to homes and local amenities. They are characterized by low traffic volumes, slower speeds, and pedestrian-friendly features that promote community interactions.

2. Mixed use shared street: MixedUse Shared Streets accommodate both vehicular and pedestrian traffic, supporting a blend of residential, commercial, and recreational activities. These streets are designed to prioritize pedestrian safety while allowing for shared use by cyclists and vehicles.

3. Informal pathways: Informal Pathways are unpaved or naturally surfaced routes that provide direct connections between residential areas and local amenities. They often vary in width and materials, prioritizing accessibility and informal use by pedestrians and cyclists.

E. CARRIAGEWAY GUIDELINES

1. Lane Configuration

a) Slow/Local streets should consist of a minimum of one lane in each direction, with a lane width ranging from 2.5 to 3.0 meters. In cases where traffic volumes are very low, a shared lane may be appropriate.

2. Traffic Management

a) Speed Limits: The design of slow streets should incorporate traffic calming measures to maintain low speeds. This includes the use of speed humps, chicanes, or other vertical elements. The recommended speed limit is typically 20-30 km/h.

F. EDGE GUIDELINES

Designing Streets for People

Designing for Pedestrians Sidewalks

1. Sidewalk Width: Sidewalks should have a minimum width of 1.8 meters wherever possible.

2. Surface Material: The surface of sidewalks should consist of durable, non-slip materials such as textured concrete or brick pavers to ensure safety in all weather conditions.

3. Lighting: Adequate lighting must be provided along sidewalks, with light poles spaced every 30 meters to eliminate dark spots. The height of light poles should not exceed 12 meters to avoid undesirable illumination of private properties.

Geometry

4. Landscaping: Landscaping features, such as trees, shrubs, and planters, should be incorporated along the roadways to enhance aesthetics and provide shade for pedestrians. Trees should be spaced appropriately to avoid obstructing sightlines and pedestrian pathways.

G. SHARED STREET GUIDELINES

In situations where dedicated cycle tracks cannot be provided, shared street designs can accommodate both pedestrians and cyclists within the same space.

1. Shared Space Design: Shared streets should have a minimal vertical separation between different modes of transport. The design should prioritize pedestrian movement while allowing cyclists to use the same area.

2. Width and Surface: The shared roadway should have a minimum width of 6 meters to accommodate both pedestrians and cyclists comfortably. The surface should be made of highquality, durable materials that provide a non-slip surface for safety.

3. Traffic Calming Measures: Implement traffic calming measures such as raised intersections, speed humps, or textured pavement to encourage lower vehicle speeds and enhance safety for all users.

4. Parking Guidelines - On-street

a) On-street parking should be provided only where street width and traffic flow allow. On narrow streets, it can be limited to one side to avoid congestion.

b) Parking spaces should be planned based on the width of the carriageway and the space required for vehicles. The typical space required for parallel parking is around 2.5 meters in width and 6 meters in length per vehicle.

c) Setbacks from intersections: Parking should not be allowed within 15-20 meters of an intersection to avoid obstructing visibility and traffic flow.

Figure 46. Illustration detailing out the elements of a shared street; Complete Streets Design Workbook, ITDP

H. ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES:

1. Neighborhood Residential

Neighborhood Residential streets primarily serve residential areas, providing direct access to homes and local amenities. They are characterized by low traffic volumes, slower speeds, and pedestrian-friendly features that promote community interactions.

a) Traffic Management: Neighborhood Residential streets should prioritize pedestrian and cyclist safety by maintaining low traffic volumes. Speed humps or other traffic calming measures should be installed at regular intervals to discourage speeding

2. Mixed Use Shared Street

Mixed-Use Shared Streets accommodate both vehicular and pedestrian traffic, supporting a blend of residential, commercial, and recreational activities. These streets are designed to prioritize pedestrian safety while allowing for shared use by cyclists and vehicles.

a) Traffic Management: Mixed-Use Shared Streets should accommodate both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Traffic calming measures should be applied to maintain low vehicle speeds.

b) Pedestrian and Bicycle Access: Sidewalks should be a minimum width of 2.0 meters, and shared spaces should allow pedestrians and cyclists to navigate freely. Cycle tracks may be integrated into the shared space and demarcated with painted lines or signage.

c) Public Spaces: Design features such as seating areas, public art, and landscaping should encourage social interaction and community engagement.

3. Informal pathways

Informal Pathways are unpaved or naturally surfaced routes that provide direct connections between residential areas and local amenities. They often vary in width and materials, prioritizing accessibility and informal use by pedestrians and cyclists.

a) Design Flexibility: Informal pathways may vary in width and surface material, often being unpaved or constructed from natural materials. They should prioritize direct connections between residential areas and local amenities.

b) Accessibility: Ensure that informal pathways provide accessibility for all users, including individuals with mobility challenges. Pathways should be free of obstructions and have gentle slopes where applicable.

c) Landscaping: Encourage natural landscaping along informal pathways to enhance the environment and provide shade, while maintaining visibility and safety for users.

STREETS FOR ALL

3. STREETS FOR ALL

2.1.4 Bus Stops

3.1 Diverse Needs

Location

In designing urban streets and spaces, it is essential to create environments that cater to the diverse needs of all users, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility. The guidelines presented here are focused on fostering seamless public transport integration, promoting barrier-free movement, and making spaces child-friendly. By prioritizing these elements, we can create streets that not only support eﬃcient transportation but also enhance safety, convenience, and comfort for pedestrians of all ages and abilities. These principles serve to ensure that cities are not only functional but also equitable, welcoming, and sustainable for all residents, including those with mobility challenges, young children, and public transport users.

A. FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORT

1. Bus Shelters: Bus shelters should be installed at all major bus stops along the streets to provide protection from weather elements. Each shelter should accommodate at least 4-6 passengers comfortably and include seating. Shelters should be accessible, with a minimum height clearance of 3 meters and equipped with information panels displaying routes and schedules (ITDP India Street Design Manual).

2. Bus Signs: Clear and visible bus signs must be placed at each bus stop, providing essential information about routes, schedules, and operational details. Signs should be positioned at a height of approximately 1.5 to 2.0 meters for easy visibility from both the street and sidewalk (Urban Street Design Guide).

3. Accessibility Features: Ensure bus stops are accessible for individuals with disabilities by incorporating features such as low curbs and tactile indicators to assist visually impaired users in navigating to and from the bus stops (Bhubaneswar Street Design Guidelines).

4. Waiting Areas: Designate waiting areas at bus stops that are free of obstructions, allowing for safe boarding and alighting from buses. These areas should be clearly marked, well-maintained, and situated close to pedestrian pathways (Global Street Design Guidelines).

Footpaths >4.5m wide

For footpaths > 4.5m wide, bus stops should be in the MUZ.

5. Lighting: Adequate lighting must be provided at bus stops and shelters to enhance safety and visibility during nighttime use. Light fixtures should be positioned to minimize glare for passengers and drivers (ITDP India Street Design Manual).

<4.5m wide

For footpaths < 4.5m wide, bus stops should be pushed to the wall to ensure sufficient space in the front for walking zone.

Figure 48. Bus shelter design speciﬁcations; Healthy Streets Design Workbook, ITDP

B. FOR BARRIER-FREE MOVEMENT

Designing Streets for People Designing for Pedestrians Universal Accessibility

6.3.8 | Universal Accessibility

Pedestrian Ramps

1. Ramps: All curbs at crossings and public transport stops must include ramps to facilitate access for individuals with mobility challenges. Ramps should have a maximum slope of 1:12 and a width of at least 1.8 meters, as recommended in the Global Street Design Guidelines.

Pedestrian ramps are inclined planes facilitating the access of sidewalks for people using wheelchairs and other personal mobility devices, as well as those pushing strollers, carts, or heavy luggage. They are generally composed of three elements: the slope, the top landing, and the side flares.

• Slope The slope should be constructed of non-slip materials and be of a maximum slope of 1:10 (10%)—ideally 1:12 (8%). The ramp width should be as wide as the clear path: minimum 1.8 m wide, 2.4 m recommended.

• Top Landing

2. Tactile Paving: Install tactile paving at key crossing points and public transport stops to assist visually impaired individuals in navigating their environment. The tactile surfaces should contrast visually with the surrounding pavement to ensure clear identification (Urban Street Design Guide).

3. Signage:

The top landing is located at the top of the ramp and allows ramp access across side flares. The landing should be as wide as the clear path or minimum 1.8 m wide.

• Side Flares

Footpaths should continue across local streets as table-tops with ramps for vehicle access.

in MUZ

Side flares are intended to prevent tripping hazards. Side flare slopes cannot exceed 1:10. Grade breaks at the top and the bottom must be perpendicular to the direction of the ramp.

Pedestrian ramps can be oriented parallel to sidewalks, where space is limited and it is difficult to fit a top landing. A level landing of a minimum 1.8 m length accommodates the maneuvering of a wheelchair.

a) Provide clear, legible signage throughout the streets to guide all users, including those with disabilities. Signs should use high-contrast colors and large fonts, with pictograms included for better comprehension (Bhubaneswar Street Design Guidelines).

2.1.2D Signage

Detectable Surfaces

Provide tactile paving or detectable warning strips at curb ramps and other transitions between pedestrian, vehicular, or shared areas.

Detectable surfaces should provide a distinctive texture intended to have a uniform meaning in alerting people to the approach of conflict zones.

Signage should be located at 0.25m from the kerb edge with minimum 2.1 m vertical clearance from the finished footpath level to the bottom of the signage board.

Location

Signage should be located at 0.25m from the kerb edge with minimum 2.1 m vertical clearance from the finished footpath level to the bottom of the signage board.

Multiple informatory signs can be combined on a single pole to reduce clutter.

Braille Signage

Braille sign boards* should be located between 1.4-1.6m from finished footpath level. *For signage design details, please refer to IRC:SP:117

All signages shall adhere to the specifications mentioned in IRC: 67 - 2021 Signage should be placed perpendicular to the line of traffic, on the left side of the road with clear visibility.

C. FOR CHILD-FRIENDLY DESIGN

1. Protection and Safety

a) Speed Limits: Implement lower speed limits (preferably 20-30 km/h) in areas with high pedestrian activity, particularly near schools, parks, and residential neighborhoods. This helps reduce the risk of accidents involving children.

b) Traffic Calming Measures: Incorporate traffic calming measures such as speed humps, raised crossings, and curb extensions to slow down vehicular traffic. These features should be strategically placed to enhance safety near schools, playgrounds, and community centers.

2. Safe Crossings

a) Crosswalk Design: Pedestrian crossings should be marked at all major intersections and near schools. Use high-visibility paint and additional signage to alert drivers to the presence of pedestrians.

b) Raised Crossings: Implement raised pedestrian crossings at key locations to provide a clear and safe path for children. These crossings should be designed to slow down vehicle speeds and ensure visibility.

c) Audible Signals: At traffic signals, provide audible signals for visually impaired pedestrians, ensuring that all children, regardless of their abilities, can cross safely.

3. Accessible Routes to Schools and Play Areas

a) Direct Pathways: Design safe and direct routes to schools, parks, and recreational areas.

Figure 51. Illustration depicting Safe crossings for child friendly street design; Bhubaneswar Child Friendly Public Space Design Guidelines, BDA

D. STREET DESIGN

Ensure these routes are well-maintained and free of obstacles, providing a clear path for children to walk or cycle.

b) Signage: Use clear, child-friendly signage to guide children to school and play areas. Signs should feature bright colors, simple language, and illustrations to enhance understanding.

4. Community Engagement

a) Involve Children and Parents: Engage children and their parents in the design process to understand their needs and preferences. Conduct workshops and surveys to gather input on amenities and features that enhance safety and enjoyment.

b) Awareness Programs: Implement community awareness programs to educate children and parents about road safety, encouraging safe behaviors when navigating streets.

5. Playful Design Features

CHILD FRIENDLY STREETS

a) Interactive Elements: To create a welcoming environment for children, incorporate playful and engaging design elements, such as colorful pavement markings, murals, and interactive street furniture.

ACCESSIBILITY GUIDELINES

b) Community Spaces: Designate areas along streets for informal play and social interaction. These spaces should be safe and easily accessible, encouraging children to engage with their surroundings.

6. Visibility and Awareness

a) Driver Awareness: Use signage such as “Children at Play” and “School Zone” indicators
